Had a lot of quotables today from students and handed out some cards. Looks like I might need to restore my Twitter presence. I’ll leave it up to you.

The first tweet I see when I scroll my feed is about Russia criminalizing independent journalism and right below that is a retweet that’s literally OMG, this toasted vanilla oatmilk shaken espresso is amazing. Man, I love Twitter.

Two observations about that first pic: 1: I seem to be presenting some sort of journalism croissant to go with @SteveBenko ‘s award. 2: I look like the lead singer of a My Chemical Romance cover band.

This is one of the of the best Chron staffs ever. At least 4 members, that I know of, later went on to pursue careers in the field of journalism.

[Steve Benko @SteveBenko]

I present to you the Valley View High School journalism class from 2011. This was 11-years-ago today.

The best journalism teacher
@MarkBarkowski

And a class full of clowns
@brigidedmunds
@1stDownFreddie
@MGalantini74
And our stapler Snappy.

@SteveBenko What did you shoot these on?

[Mark Barkowski @MarkBarkowski]

@SteveBenko This is equal parts hilarious and informative and I’m showing this to my journalism class in about 20 minutes.

Congrats to @JennaMarzullo for her induction into the Hundo Club today. Somebody buy the girl a coffee.

[Mark Barkowski @MarkBarkowski]

Shoutout back to whoever yelled at me while waking thru the Starbucks parking lot. Enjoy your coffee and your Saturday.

[Mark Barkowski @MarkBarkowski]

Rolled my chair up to a student to check work today.

"You smell like coffee."

Second nicest thing I ever heard. Thanks Rachel

Got a few emails from former students (also followers) that showed some love for #TeacherAppreciationWeek. Can���t express how much it means. Reach out to a current or former teacher. Believe me, they can use it.
